Hi.
Subject says it all.
With latest updates, i just deleted the kernel aic7xxx subtree, put instead
the updated (from people.freebsd.org) tree, and built. All went fine
until (and including) 6.1.9.
6.1.10 just stops after the init messages and stays there forever.

No, that is the problem. It is just the same player, just launched from

Trying new updated nVidia drivers with AGPGART, I get:

What does that mean ? Hard or soft error or some kernel feature that

Hi everyone.
I have noticed that some kernel modules are installed under
/lib/modules/XXX/misc,
instead of /net. I have been checking the drivers/net/Makefile (little knowledge
of
kernel make infraestructure...), and MOD_LIST_NAME is set properly, but the only
content of modules/NET_MODULES is d

Hi everyone.
Little question about 'uname'. Does it read data from kernel, /proc or
get its data from other source ?
uname info page:
$ uname -a

my system:

Not so broken. I use it under SMP 2.2.18-pre23 and works fine. But under 2.4
hangs. So I think it is something that changed between 2.2 and 2.4 (

Hi everyone.
I would like to know if there is any back-port of ACPI to 2.2.

I would love my box powers down when I shutdown...just like macs.
